What prices are considered good for those?
I found a Buc-ee's station selling them for $40, but had never priced them before. I've been wanting a good can to have in my truck, and it looked like it would fit the bill nicely.

This site sometimes has retired NATO fuel cans for $15 with free shipping on orders over $100. https://www.majorsurplus.com/surplus...fuel-cans.html
I bought 6 plus a little something to get over the $100 for free shipping. They probably lost money just on the shipping but the cans looked good, 98% good paint, no dents, inside liners looked good, a tad of rust.

I spotted something that concerned me. Those "utility jugs" say they are for water or oil, no mention of gasoline. A review comment also stated they are only rated for racing fuel, not gasoline.
Is this a problem for me? Dumb ol' me, I assumed it was a gas can when I found it at a gas station.
Is that not the case?
